Well, now that Fabrizio Romano said that Claudio Ranieri is close to reaching an agreement with As Roma, I believe it won't take long for the Roma management and Claudio Ranieri to sign a contract. But I honestly think that Roma's management may be making the same mistake

Claudio Ranieri has arrived at AS Roma to be confirmed as the club's new coach. We are just waiting for the official announcement from AS Roma.

Claudio Ranieri is an experienced coach, hopefully this is really in accordance with the expectations of AS Roma who have experienced the failure, very similar to their condition last season before being replaced by de Rossi. Previously he had been a coach at Leicester City, Valencia, Cagliari, and several others. This is also nostalgic for him in Serie A. But what you said is true, there is no experience of winning Serie A, only the Italian Super Cup, Spanish Cup, and several others which are not big and top leagues.

While we still don't know if Mourinho will leave for Newcastle, the parts that are true right now is that Howe is not getting good results and could be sacked. In fact, if he was sacked right now, I wouldn't be shocked and that would fit perfectly for them, they are just not doing good enough. And with the amount of money they have now with the new owner, I believe they shouldn't be doing this badly, they were good for a short sting, went to UCL and all, but that was it, they have been bad ever since.

However, the mourinho part is that they just want a good manager and believing that they are doing good is the key, Mourinho could do good there, and everyone believes that, so it would not be a bad idea, not a must, they can find someone else too.

Newcastle need a manager like Jose Mourinho, Eddie Howe seems to have a hard time realizing the ambitious project of the new owner of The Magpies.
Of course there are many other options for the position of Newcastle manager in the future, if Eddie Howe is fired. But in my opinion, Jose Mourinho is one of the managers who should be considered to be recruited. In my opinion, Jose Mourinho still has bargaining power, he is not completely finished. If in the right environment, meaning with a team that has abundant financial support, it is likely that the Portuguese manager can still present trophies. In his managerial career history, Jose Mourinho was able to realize Roman Abramovich ambition at Chelsea in his first period, tt wouldn't be a bad idea for Newcastle to try their luck with him.

I don't understand why Mourinho is so invested in the winter transfer window of Fenerbahce when he wants to join Newcastle or other EPL team? The special one is negotiating with Talisca from Al-Nassr and wants Ansu Fati to join him from Barcelona and I don't know if there is others that I missed.
I am aware he isn't very satisfied with the Turkish league but I think he would be better stay there and achieve something rather than jumping from a team to another without any special addition.

Why am I so sad when I heard he will leave Man United after giving quite good results in his 4 matches Cry

so far he has not experienced defeat and even scored 11 goals and only conceded 3 goals from his debut with Man United, it is very unfortunate that Amorim did not appoint him as an assistant even though he actually knows the depth of the red devils well as a former player and also as an assistant. However, even though he is Amorim's assistant, Ruud actually can't do much, the decision is entirely in the hands of Amorim's head coach in building the team.

All choices are full of risks and indeed even if it is very unfortunate especially at this time it seems that Ruud van Nistetlroy has its own place among Manchester United fans after successfully gaining momentum with 4 matches without losing which is very rare in the Ten Hag era to have to leave because there is no compatibility of vision between him and Amorim which makes them decide to walk each other.

This decision must have taken into account many conditions that occur so that in the end we also cannot force the will because Ruud van Nistelrooy also does not want to be under Amorim especially because Amorim has indicated that he wants to be with the management he brought.
Now we just need to see whether in the end this decision will end well or this will be the condition that makes Manchester United return to their form in the Ten Hag era.

After Ruud has taken over Manchester United have really started to get good results. This also shows that Manchester United was late to sack Erik ten Hag. I would also like to see Ruud's staying at Manchester United until the end of the season a lot. However Manchester United board don't want to lose time and one should understand this too. Every manager would like to work with their own team. I guess Amorim didn't want to see Ruud in his team because of this or Ruud didn't want to have a place in Amorim's team.

Fortunately, Ruud has left the club since the arrival of Ruben Amorim. No space was given him in the backroom staff because obviously, the 39year old Amorim who won his last match 4-2 against Braga has his own preference of staff, right from his assistance to goal keeper trainer.
The team has witnessed massive boost in terms of performance in their defense for a league title this season, and majorly, we have seen how some players like Rashford has been out of form, yet kept his spot under Ten Hag.

Manchester United shouldn't have allowed Ruud to stay till January to see his performance before deciding either to keep him or sign another manager as we can see Ruud performance was excellent he never lost a single game since he took over as caretaker manager.
If it were possible Ruud would have been given the assistance manager but someone like Ruud won't like a situation where he will an assistance manager to Ruben Amorim the new manager though Ruben Amorim performance in Sporting Lisbon was good too as we saw how Sporting Lisbon humiliated Manchester City in the UEFA Champions league I just wish he can retain Manchester United in the top 4 of English premier league table at the end of the season.

Real Madrid is watching for Laporte and Pedro Porro.

These two players are players Madrid really needs. It will be very good business if they can get both of those players. With Carvajal out of the season, they need a reliable right like Pedro Porro. Vazquez is god but he's not reliable. He makes a lot of mistakes and is not always defensively aware. Plus, if any injuries happen to him, Madrid will be too vulnerable. I have watched Pedro Porro and I know he's good. He will be a good addition to this Madrid team.

As for Laporta, I don't know the level he's in right now. I haven't been watching him since he moved to Saudi, but I know he will be better than every other option Madrid has right now. Militao has also got an out-of-the-season injury so signing Laporte to fill in for the short term is not a bad idea. I don't know how Madrid is going to survive till January with the injuries they have but it's not looking good.

It seems Amorim is coming with all of his staffs that he’s working with at Sporting Lisbon and will make a lot of the couching staffs present now that worked with Ten Hag leaving their jobs. This is a very important moment for Manchester United and they might not compromise it and would allow him to go and as such because they need the league title and it’s more important for them to win it after a poor start to the season. I see Amorim making a lot of changes in the squad and starting eleven of the club. He’s going to be starting with three defense and has also shown interest in Nkunku at Chelsea which I feel he may bring in to join the team soon.

After such a start they need to at least stabilise and get to a consistent level, it's very early to talk about trophies, we'll be lucky if we can seriously think about some trophies next season. The FA Cup I don't think they need to count, they can win it with Ten Hag as practice shows, it will be hard to judge whether the change of coach really helped or not

Madrid easily for extending Vinicius Jr contract although still longer time expiry but depend with Madrid performed recently have bad trend after losing in domestic league and UEFA Champion League match. This season competition still longer time and Vinicius Jr have opportunity proof his capacity for winning Ballon D'Or for next year.

You are absolutely right in what you say, honestly what you say about him I find it difficult not to renew him, he scored great goals against Osasuna and that was a demonstration that he loves the club and here Forentino Perez has to see it, and I am sure that he will renew his contract.

~~

Yep, obviously Vinicius Junior will extend his contract and I was also seeing it when Vinicius Junior completes his stunning hat trick against Osasuna in which he shows to the fan that he loves Real Madrid. So I think he wants to stay in at real Madrid. Vinicius Junior is one the best strikers in the world his speed, control, and agility is out of this world. To be honest he needs to stay in real Madrid because real Madrid is the club where he could show up his talent and also can win individual trophies as well as club trophies.

So it's meant to say that it will be good for Vinicius Junior to extend his contact because currently the club needs him and if he is loyal to the club so indeed he will extend his contact and stay strong with real Madrid.

Well, now that Fabrizio Romano said that Claudio Ranieri is close to reaching an agreement with As Roma, I believe it won't take long for the Roma management and Claudio Ranieri to sign a contract. But I honestly think that Roma's management may be making the same mistake again. I say this because although Claudio Ranieri has managed to win many titles, he is very old and has not managed to win Serie A recently with any team. So by taking Roma in the peak state they are in, I believe that at most he could only improve Roma's position next season and at most he would be able to win the Coppa Italia, but he wouldn't be able to win Serie A.

It's a gamble again if you really want to try a coach who is over 70 years old to return to coaching a big club.

Not that I want to discriminate against age at the moment because it all comes back to performance on the pitch but in the end does Roma have to be like this where they seem to be struggling to find the right coach to make the squad even better.
The previous decision to end the partnership with De Rosi and find a new coach proved to be a mistake because it only made their condition uncontrollable; because of the rapid adaptation with great pressure.

It is possible in this case Ranieri still has the experience to run some schemes in conditions that are actually now still quite complicated for them but on the other hand this is also a gamble again because in the end if this decision is made and again get the same results this will further aggravate Roma.

I believe Roma will not choose Ten Hag. If that happens, then it is questionable what target Roma really wants to achieve by bringing in Ten Hag. I am sure Roma can get a better coach and can certainly make Roma better. but clearly it is not Ten Hag.
Ten Hag may have to go to the Eredivisie to coach a struggling club and make achievements first before finally being glanced at by a big European club. Ten Hag's name should have started to be sidelined after his dismissal from United.

That's just fake news that will never happen, Roma also don't want Ten Hag and I don't think he fits there either.
Roma have now found a replacement for Ivan Juric you can see the latest news from Fabrizio Romano
His current replacement is Claudio Ranieri, he has been officially appointed by the AS Roma board of directors to handle the club,
hopefully with his experience Roma can rise and improve their current position in the Serie A standings.

Claudio Ranieri is a good coach and i recalled how he was able to lead Leicester city to winning the title in 2015/2016 season. He also led Cagliari to promotion to the Serie A in 2023 so if he is confirmed as Roma's head coach, we should be expecting some positive changes in the team. The season hasn't gone far yet and besides Roma can still come out stronger in the Europa league since they may not be able to become title contenders due the number of points that the lead leaders at topping the table with. Saying that Claudio Ranieri can only get to win the Coppa Italia may not be true because if we are to go by his records as a coach i think he is one of the successful Managers. Since this information is being giving by Fabrizio Romano, i believe it is most likely that Claudio Ranieri and Roma would reach an agreement and possibly sign a contract with the club.

I wish Ruud success as he continues his coaching journey but then I was expecting expecting the Manchester United management to have encouraged the current coach Ruben Amorim to have given him the opportunity to work with him since the few matches that was handled by Ruud turned out to be one of the best performance of the team this season so far and since the strategy of Ruud is working for the team already Amorim working with him would see the team in a better shape.

Ruben Amorim bringing his own technical crew to the Manchester United team sounds great since he has used the same strategy to achieve a good performance in his former team, his commitment is to better the performance of the team and see how he will restore the good performance of the players since most of them is finding it difficult to pick up form again.

It is obvious that with such great opportunities at Manchester United, ten Hag made a lot of mistakes and was unable to take advantage of the opportunity that he had. Amorim will most likely make a good rotation in the team, as Maresca did at Chelsea, I think that without this, nothing will change. Maybe van Nistelrooy's temporary successes show that Manchester United has very good potential, but for great achievements the team requires big changes, I think we will soon see them with Amorim.

Erik Ten Hag tried his best which was not credited efficient for the club's growth, he has alot of errors recorded during his era as manager for the Red Devils. He needed time to put things right for the club that doesn't mean he didn't lift titles with the team, he did but coming to imperative tournament, he vanished into the thin air and that's actually not the competency ratio the team's board spotted when they appointed him as headcoach. Manchester United is an elite club that needs to be efficiently fixed following the current situation of the club.

The boss is around and Manchester United fans are hopeful for a competitive run. Ruben Amorim has good visions for the club but I would rather advised the team's supporters to pipe low regarding the high expectation they're expecting from the new coach. Amorim is new to the system and you don't just expects a total turn around for Manchester United, everything takes time, although the temporary assistant coach who was obligated to take over responsibility of the managerial role since Erik Ten Hag was relieved off his duties, Ruud van Nistelrooy have departed Old Trafford because Ruben Amorim doesn't welcome the idea of working with him, he brought his own team and would work with them.

He already talked about how he wants to not bring him this January, that part is at least guaranteed. I am not saying that it would be impossible for the summer, they may do it during the summer, but not this January. Plus, they have enough players as it is, the problem isn't that they do not have the players to win, they have players and a roster to win this without trouble, the problem is that they are not really doing anything great at the moment.

Players who can play better, end up playing worse than what they are playing right now is the problem and I believe they are going to face even more toughness in the future if they keep this up. I believe fixing that would fix many of their issues and that is the most important part. If they can do this, then they can do very well, and shouldn't be really focusing on getting new ones. Just make the players play with their %100 and they should be getting a great result without trouble in the end.

I also see it like that, in fact this will be a new challenge for Ruben Amorim to focus on the available players. In fact, Man United's players are quite good, but they need more effort and of course work hard so that they can be consistent, let alone stable. United has brought in many players before, whether it's a striker, midfielder and defender. But unfortunately, their performance is often more chaotic. I don't know what the main problem is with The Red Devil, but as we see they actually have good players. What we often see is that they create many opportunities but have difficulty converting them into goals, or they are ahead first but unfortunately have difficulty maintaining it until the final whistle is blown. Now Amorim is the head coach at Old Trafford, it is hoped that they will be able to do much better than the previous coach. Whoever it is, of course the Red Devil supporters want their favorite team to be a much more competitive team. Moreover, they can compete tightly in the top four of the Premier League. I won't say much about Manchester United under Amorim's direction, let's just see his work. Moreover, give him time to prove his capacity. or, he will also have difficulty achieving maximum results.

You sound like a true Roma fan and i feel your pain if the club has to make such a bad decision in choosing Ten Hag. Most complains from managers who fail to win league trophy or take the club far is that the board of directors don't give them enough funds to manage the team. With what you pointed out, Roma has less to offer to Ten Hag compared to what he received from Manchester United. And we all know that Manchester United is one of the richest club in England. Yet Ten Hag fail to accomplish anything good.

The Roma board of directors should think twice in these situation. Knowing full well that they have suffered in the hands of two coaches who promised them success and yet failed. Now they want to bank on Ten Hag.

I believe Roma will not choose Ten Hag. If that happens, then it is questionable what target Roma really wants to achieve by bringing in Ten Hag. I am sure Roma can get a better coach and can certainly make Roma better. but clearly it is not Ten Hag.
